title: [The role of physical exertion in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis].
abstract: The prevention of osteoporosis consists of two components: building up high peak bone mass and reducing the rate of bone loss during menopause and aging. The animal trials prove positive influence of physical activity on bone mass but retrospective studies in humans are not quite confirmative. Prospective trials on large populations indicate positive role of physical activity in humans. The weight exercises show the best results. Proper long-term physical activity contributes both to gaining high peak bone mass in the young and to slowing down the rate of bone loss (in conjunction with pharmacotherapy) in the elderly.
